We will need a strong Congress to keep Romney’s liberal tendencies in check.

Which history says you won't have after 2014. The opposing party to the president usually wins seats in the mid-terms. Romney has proven as governor that he will bend over for a liberal legislature, if not try to "out-liberal" them if he thinks that's where the wind is blowing. This is why we're probably better off with him losing now. Then we can maintain gridlock against Obama, win more seats in 2014, and get a better nominee in 2016. If we get Romney now, chances are Dems will win seats in 2014 and then win back the presidency in 2016, a repeat of 2006 and 2008. Then they'll have the mandate and the majority to pass single payer health care, cap-and-trade and do everything else they want.

If Obama wins relection there will be no country worth saving in 2016. Obama will not let gridlock stop him. Obama is not going to play by the rules in his second term when it comes to implenting his socialist agenda.
